What is it?

Reactor is a unique and powerful plugin for FileMaker Pro that empowers you to add advanced user interface controls to your database layouts... controls like a Calendar with full drag and drop capability or a Gantt Chart where you drag the bars to adjust the tasks.

And it’s pretty easy to use too — it’ll install itself, then it’s a simple matter to insert a web viewer, select the control function and put your fields into the parameters.

What will it do for me?

Impress users, save development time, speed up your solutions, let you do what seems impossible in FileMaker. In short, you’ll make better solutions and get there faster.

Features

Reactor comes with a bunch of ready made Blackbox controls, and if you’ve purchased a license you’ll be able to add more Blackbox plugins at any time. Even the FREE version comes with OS native buttons and popup menus, a slider control, DayCal Lite, LiveField and ImageFlow. And for the hard-core developers there’s the Blackbox Builder, a tool for creating your own Blackbox controls with JavaScript and HTML.

How does it work?

Reactor uses the power of web technologies by using the web viewer to display user interface controls that you can’t normally build with FileMaker. Reactor allows JavaScript to communicate with the database, making the web viewer not just a portal to the web but a fully integrated and interactive part of your solution.
